Introduction to View

<

With View, IT departments can run remote desktops and applications in the datacenter and deliver these desktops and applications to employees as a managed service. End users gain a familiar, personalized environment that they can access from any number of devices anywhere throughout the enterprise or from home. Administrators gain centralized control, efficiency, and security by having desktop data in the datacenter.

End users start Horizon Client to log in to View Connection Server. This server, which integrates with Windows Active Directory, provides access to remote desktops hosted on a VMware vSphere server, a physical PC, or a Microsoft RDS host. Horizon Client also provides access to remote applications on a Microsoft RDS host.

To enhance the effectiveness of View in your organization, you can use several interfaces to integrate View with external applications or to create administration scripts that you can run from the command line or in batch mode.
